International students bring to UB expectations of academic culture that differ greatly from those of U.S. students. Come hear students from South Korea discuss the nuances of academic culture in their home country. Gain an in-depth understanding of these students' expectations and behaviors. Learn useful techniques to bridge the cultural gap between the students' expectations and your advising, teaching, socializing and customer service styles.
